CARBS

I prefer Pillsbury carbs.

Amen to that!!!

Carbs are the least valuable nutrient and the most likely to be over-consumed.

Great information here I really liked your source.

Because you constantly spout nonsensical bull****.

Curious as your trainers stated reasoning for limiting carbs after 4pm

I'm pretty sure the reasoning has something to do with fat burning requiring long periods
of low blood sugar, and limiting the carbs will assist in that.

I can only verify that this advise has contributed to my weightloss, having no other substancial evidence.

Nice ad hominem attack. I thought you could do better than that.

Why bother? When presented with facts you stick your head in the sand and continue to spout your carbophobic nonsense.

The problem with that statement though, is it doesn't work like that. Fat burning requires low insulin, not low blood sugar. Eating anything, carbs, protein, fat, all will cause an insulin response, as just the act of eating causes insulin release, and protein is just as insulinogenic as carbs are. Which means even if you don't eat carbs after "x" time, if you eat anything at all, you still spike insulin and stop burning fat. That's why I hate the "eat 600 meals every 5 minutes" kind of advice, because it never allows you to fast long enough between meals to actually burn any fat.

Now, for a lot of people, cutting carbs after a certain time causes them to eat less calories, but that just proves that it's all a matter of calorie deficit and has nothing to do with the carbs specifically.

Hey I know we are talking about carbs but does anybody know the maxium amount of sugar we should in take per day?

I don't think we are talking about carbs anymore !! Lol!!

There is little or no nutritional benefit in "simple" carbs that are found in processed foods mostly.
IN addition, simple carbs/empty carbs are highly addictive- even if they are fat free, you end up
eating so much more than you can burn, and then the leftovers are stored, as you guessed it . . fat!

Complex carbs are the way to go- those found naturally like fruits, veggies and whol grains. But
be sure to watch the sugar content- don't over do it. My trainer has me limit any carbs to be
consumed before 4pm also.

If you eat enough protein and healthy fats, as well of complex carbs you should feel fuller, longer.

Same here as I hate reading limit after 3 or 4 or absolutely none after 7 pm. If I had that mindset I would surely binge. I have to always ignor that advice or I have to try my absolute best but ignoring it works better for me...thats just me though. I have my goal set at 40/30/30 and almost never go over carbs or much but you just cant tell me when to eat them or I'll go nuts.

Somehow I missed this one. So if cutting carbs after a certain time causes them to eat less, why doesn't it have anything to do with carbs specifically? Are you suggesting they are cutting carbs AND fat and protein or is there in fact something special about carbs?
